Wrongful Termination
On July 24 I received a phone call from Monica Goss, former district manager in Atlanta, GA, and was told I was being terminated immediately. When asked why I was refused a reason. I was told I would I would receive a letter from her administrator stating the reason. When I called her administrator yesterday she didn't even know I had been terminated.

Today is payday and when I called the toll free number to see how much money had been deposited in my account, the balance was zero. I have done nothing wrong, am one of the top three salesmen out of the three stores in Athens, Ga.

When I became eligible for healthcare benefits in April it took Radio Shack two months to straighten out an HR problem for my benefits to go into effect.

I have an MBA and had a six figure income from 1983 until 2007. I took this job to take care of my ailing mother in Athens. I am going to see an attorney today. This company and it's middle management sucks!

rip off
Never purchase radio shack serice replacement plan it is a big rip off. I purchased a touch screen phone and then one month later the inside of the screen started leaking inside the phone. I purchased the "serice/replacement plan, but they refused to replace the phone per their service plan. The will come up with some crazy excuse like it's not due to wear and tear, but the phone must be defective or it would not have done this and they are simply refusing to replace it. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM A RADIO SHACK AGAIN N E V E R.

damaged merchandise
my son's ninetendo was mistakly sent to radio shack warranty department by mistake and they destoried the merchandise. I was told by two supervisors that they would replace it and then when the information was sent to them with the cost they declined. That DSI was 180 dollars and they did not replace the item instead they destoried it.

Scams
Over the six months I worked at Radioshack I was told to do as much as I could to help the customer, but at the same time told to sell as much as I possibly could. This became more apparent when I would have to sell Cell phones at the store I worked. When a Cell phone is sold you are required to attach atleast 2 things to the phone. When selling the cell phone my District Manager informed me that I was to tell the customer, no matter what phone they bought, that they needed screen protectors and then to place them under my arm and hide them from site until we rung everything up and scan them without the person seeing. This was my District Manager who informed me to do this, not just my store manager but she extremely encouraged it also. This was followed by being told to attach batteries to things that came with batteries, service plans for things that our $10 or less, head phones for mp3 players that come with them already, so on and so forth. If something was not done to meet any of these requirements and management heard what happened, it would be followed by a lecture and a write up to do "better."

Cell Phone
I am a preexisting Sprint customer who decided to use my full upgrade for a cell phone from Radioshack.com. I paid the shipping and handling fee of $14.99 and received the phone in two days. The phone which looked new and broke four days after using it. I immediatedly called Radioshack to inform the phone was broken and they informed me to send it back via Fedex to their return dept. They asked if I wanted to exchange it for another cell phone, which I agreed. I packed everything the phone came with(manual, charger etc.) including the packing material. I scheduled a pick up for Fed Ex to get the return package. The return was received today and I get a email saying that I would be charged $50.00 for a damaged box. WTF???? I immediately called them to explain how was the box damaged and why was I being charge $50.00!!! The box it came with and shipping box was intact and not damaged whatsoever when i returned it. They couldn't explain how the box was damaged and said that the inspector noted this. I demanded to speak to higher management and canceled my exchange(why take the risk of being charged another $50.00 for a Cell Phone Box on if that phone breaks too ????) My sister also informed me that a couple of years ago she thought she purchased a new phone from Radioshack that also broke...turns out it was a refurbished phone!!!IF ANYONE IS THINKING OF USING RADIOSHACK FOR UPGRADE OR PURCHASING A CELL PHONE, DON'T BOTHER!!! You will get stiffed!!!

Worthless extended service plans
When purchasing a new cell phone and wireless carrier at Radio Shack, I was talked into buying an Extended Service Plan by the salesman. I was told it covered everything and could get in-store replacement. Basically none of it is true. It only covers failed electronic components and does not include in-store replacement. I would have been far better off buying the AT&T insurance plan. It covers far more. I learned that with Radio Shack, you can't believe the sales people (they lie) and you have to read all of the fine print (and there is LOTs of it). A very shady retailer for sure. I learned an expensive lesson but they will not get any more of my business and I will be sure to tell anyone who will listen what a crooked and sleazy company they are.

Fraud
ON 5-29-2010 I WENT INTO RADIO SHACK TO BUY A NEW SIM CARD FOR MY PHONE. THE MAN WORKING TOLD ME I COULD PUT THE PHONE IN ANY NAME. I SAID TO HIM, DOES THAT NOT ENABLE TERROIST TO DO THE SAME. HE SAID AT&T DOES NOT CARE. HE STATED HE HAS PUT THEM IN THE NAME OF MR. SCOTT FREE AND MR. TONY MONTANA(FROM SCARFACE). I SAID NO THANKS I WANT IT IN MY NAME. HE PULLED OUT A NEW SIM AND ASKED DO YOU WANT TO INSERT IT OR ME. I REPLIED YOU CAN. WHEN HE HANDED ME MY PHONE, I TURNED IT ON. IT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I ASKED WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND HE SAID I DON'T KNOW, BUT YOU OWE ME $27.44 FOR THE SIM. I SAID TO HIM, I HAVE NOT SIGNED ANYTHING AND MY PHONE IS NOT WORKING SO I AM NOT PAYING. HE WOULD NOT LET ME LEAVE UNTILL I PAYED. MY 4 KIDS WERE WITH ME AND BECAME UPSET. SO I FINALLY SAID HERE. I GAVE HIM THE MONEY. HE THEN SAID I CAN FIX YOUR PHONE FOR $50. I JUST WALKED OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED AT&T, THE FBI, THE BBB, AS WELL AS THE LOCAL NEWS STATION IN NASHVILLE. NOW I HAVE A USELESS SIM AND MY PHONE IS NOT WORKING.

Very unpleasant experience
I am writing regarding my recent experience with Radio Shack . My 12 yr. old needed a calculator for school and I took her to Radio Shack to purchase it. The sales person talked her into upgrading saying it would then be something she could use into college. She took this to school and was unable to use it. We tried to return it but as the original packaging could not be reused, were told that it was too bad. This is a $17.99 calculator that a grown up sold to child. She was very embarrassed and upset. I will check with FTC regarding "selling up" to children.
